bug in -test11 make xconfig

bug in -test11 make xconfig

[Christopher Sawtell]

Greets to linux-kernel people,

  I have noticed that it is not possible to configure the kernel to use the 
xfs file system using the 'make xconfig' command.

  'make menuconfig' and 'make gconfig' appear to work correctly.

 No need to reply, & I'm not worth to be be subscribed because of insufficient 
knowledge.

Re: NForce2 pseudoscience stability testing (2.6.0-test11)

[Craig Bradney]

I am also using a 2 week old A7N8X Deluxe, v2 with the latest 1007 BIOS.
I AM able to run 2.6 Test 11 with APIC, Local APIC and ACPI support
turned on (SMP off, Preemptible Kernel off).

Although the PC hasnt been under constant stress, uptime is over 12
hours and its not the first time its been up for 12 or more with test 11
(which was my first 2.6 kernel). Running Gentoo Linux btw.

 dmesg output follows:

Unfortunately, I have the exact same configuration, with massive
lockups. Could you try executing "hdparm -t /dev/<someharddisk>"
several times and see if it lockups?

I have the SATA controller disabled by jumper on the motherboard if that
could be one of the differences as I notice you are posting about SATA
too.

I don't think this is Linux-related. None of the NForce2 motherboards
with chipset revision same as the one on A7N8X Deluxe rev2 is able to
run memtest86 for 72 hours without errors with any memory tested (about
20 different DIMMs). NForce2 chipset is just broken.

Have you taken a look into the other nforce2 thread? A possible 
solution/Patch has been posted.

I assume this is a 2.5 or 2.6 kernel source you are talking about,
since gconfig is unavailable in 2.4. Could you be more precise?

With 2.6.0-test11 I'm able to enable XFS support through xconfig.

If you didn't want anyone to reply you wouldn't have posted this message
to begin with.

And sometimes it's a curse to be subscribed to linux-kernel. There's
lots to read all the time. :)

I guess the subject is precise enough, given the fact that 2.4 havn't
had -test releases since 2.4.0 :-)

It works fine here. How exactly is it not possible for you? Is it visible?
What happens if you enable 'Show All Options'?
